Closet — demo + rebuilding

Once we removed the shelves in the closet, I saw that the person who put it in had *less* ability than I did! (side note: it was NOT Erik, it was probably the person who sold him the house).


See? This person hangs pictures a *Iittle* bit like I do! ;)


Yeah, check out the number of shades of brown I was trying to choose between. For the most part, I get a few colors on the wall and Erik chooses the final color. Mostly because I can't decide and just tell him to pick. But he ALWAYS chooses well.


He even picks up a brush every once in awhile.


Doesn't the color look *fantastic*??!!??!?!?


Even better in the morning light!


On come the boxes of wood!


We ordered 2 closet sets, one for each wall. Basically, one for him and one for me! Could a girl get any luckier?!?!?!???


Then it was time to start drilling holes in our pristinely painted walls.


Erik rocked it out with drilling them. :)


Since we didn't necessarily put all of the holes in the studs, we had to put these plastic thingies in the wall. But ... well, some of them broke. :(


Getting the upper bar up was pretty exciting! :)


This is the COOLEST thing! See how the hook is on the bottom? That means I can just slide the hanger right across the rod. Know how some racks, especially department stores? The hanger always gets caught in the rack. Yeah, annoying.


Vertical column is up!!!!! (Hi Esse!!!!!!!)


See how long Erik's shirts are?


Another vertical column up!


Erik is GREAT about pitching in! :)


Once I got the lower bar up, I drug clothes in, to see if it was too low. I hung the bar a little lower than it suggested. Mainly because Erik is so tall and his shirts are LONG ....
